OUR Programs:
Transitional Housing is 18-24 months of housing for qualified individuals and families. This program is designed to temporarily assist with low income housing. Transitional Housing gives people who have had a temporary financial set back a chance to improve their finances, rental history, and get back into independent housing.
Permanent Supportive Housing is designed for those individuals with disabilities that are defined as chronically homeless. Chronic homelessness is defined as a year or more of homelessness or four or more episodes of homelessness over a three year period. Proof of chronic homelessness must be provided on agency letterhead by emergency shelters, doctors, and other agencies that serve the homeless community.
Neighborhood Stabilization is a CICV program for families at risk of homelessness that meet the criteria. Please call for availability.
